Agriculture/ Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and Campbell Scientific Canada (CSC) have been operating an “eddy covariance” (EC) meteorological tower near Lacombe, Alberta that measures the flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) between agricultural fields and the atmosphere. This tower provides data that is used to assess plant growth and decomposition across fields which is critical for understanding […]

Noise interference is often a major challenge in signal recognition. In this project, our goal is to monitor ground and infrastructure movement based on data acquired using smart sensor technology. While related works have been extensively discussed in the literature, our contribution lies in exploring a reverse engineering procedure to remove noise from raw captured […]

Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.1 is a technology that utilizes orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology to provide downstream (DS) transmission capacities of up to 10 gigabits per seconds (Gbps), as well as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) technology to provide upstream (US) transmission capacities of up to 1 Gbps per channel. Full duplex (FDX) […]

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for loss allowances are changing, and financial institutions are proactively adapting existing methodologies and developing new ones to remain compliant. The main ingredient in the myriad of evaluations that banks are required to perform for compliance is risk assessment. The first goal of this research project is to review best […]

The project examines the use of recycled plastics sourced from waste landfills for construction and infrastructure applications such as fence panels, an idea developed by EcoFence. Through the course of this project a comprehensive study is conducted to evaluate the mechanical and physical characteristics, such as strength and sound absorption. The measured data is compared […]

For the management of neuromuscular disorders (NMD), subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) administration has become an alternate option, being a home-based alternative to conventional intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), with a comparable efficacy, minimum adverse effects and significant improvement to the quality of life. With the increased cost of healthcare management, it has become more challenging for clinicians and […]

High frequency millimeter-waves are quickly becoming essential for many industrial and commercial applications including high resolution automotive radar and high-speed wireless communication systems. While millimeterwaves offer many benefits, they also introduce new engineering challenges, due to the smaller wavelengths and dielectric properties of materials at high frequencies. One of the primary challenges relates to the […]

In collaboration with Western Canada Realty, we aim to develop a real-estate valuation online service for the Alberta real-estate market, especially for Edmonton. The product resembles Trulia and Zillow on a high level, which are real-estate price estimation web services in U.S. The system requires a backend that takes as input house pricing information from […]

Geothermal energy extracts heat from the ground which can be used directly, or converted into electricity. In a geothermal power plant hot water is extracted from an underground reservoir with a borehole, and geophysics is used to locate these reservoirs. In the planned research, a geophysical method called magnetotellurics (MT) will be used to image […]

Over 14 million Canadians live with overweight or obesity. Patients want conversations with their primary care team about weight and create personalized plans to improve their health. Primary care clinicians want to have these conversations too, but don’t know how. This project partners with an interdisciplinary primary care team (ESPCN) and the Canadian Obesity Network […]
